planner commented on the word issues
Note that the nouns "issues" and "problems" do not have the same meaning and are not interchangeable. They are not synonyms. If your car won't start, you have a problem that needs fixing. If a mechanic overcharges you for fixing your car, you have an issue that needs resolving.
